Manufactured by the Minstrel & Rea Cycle Company, of Birmingham, the first Calthorpe motorcycle appeared in 1909 powered by a 3.5hp White & Poppe engine.
The following year there were no fewer than six Calthorpe models displayed at the Motor Cycle Show at Olympia, some of which featured an 'free' engine clutch and two-speed gear.
In 1928 the first of the famous 'Ivory' Calthorpes appeared, so called because of its distinctive finish to fuel tank and mudguards.
By 1930 the Ivory had gained a new 350cc overhead-valve inclined engine with twin-port cylinder head.
Two new Ivories were added for 1932: a 250cc two-stroke with Villiers-based engine - the Ivory Minor - and a 494cc version of the ohv model.
The Minor lasted for little more than a season before the Calthorpe range was reduced to just the 494cc Ivory Major.
The Minor was revived in 1934, but this time with a 250cc four-stroke engine, while the 350 returned for 1935 as the Ivory Junior.
